The couple lost 200 pounds in a year and shared their new photos

Stephanie and Brandon, had been overweight since childhood. At first it didn’t seem like a big problem, they were able to establish a personal life and were deeply in love with each other.

Nothing seemed to get in the way of their happiness… But Brandon began to have health problems, later he was diagnosed with sleep apnea, which meant that during the night the young man could simply suffocate. And the reason for that was his excess weight.

«We looked in the mirror, looked at each other, and we understood everything. Each of us weighed over 290 pounds. Brandon had just been diagnosed with apnea, and I felt just awful,» recalls Stephanie, who works as a photographer.

It was scary because they were young and had their whole lives ahead, and it turned out their lives were put at risk… And yet they wanted to become parents.

That’s when the fight for a healthy life began, and it lasted exactly one year. Stephanie managed to lose 125 pounds, and Brandon — 80. The girl began to look much better, there was confidence and a desire to become even better.

Most importantly, the young people didn’t torture themselves with strict diets, they gradually, step by step went to their goal. Their menus were balanced, and their portions contained the necessary amount of calories. They also walked and exercised a lot, which also had a positive effect on their weight loss.

The couple claims that regularity was a key factor when they made a plan to improve their health.

And the best news, Stephanie shared on her blog, is that they will soon be parents! Their baby girl will be born in July!
